Question

To ask the Scottish Government what the required minimum Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) level is for temporary accommodation.


Answer

There is no minimum EPC level required for temporary accommodation. However, where temporary accommodation is provided in properties which are usually let as social housing, the property will be required to meet the Energy Efficiency Standard for Social Housing (EESSH), equivalent to EPC band D or C by 2020.
